Motivation help?

[notyourwendy]

I have just recently discovered that I'm not so good at large projects.  Unfortunately, I've this learning moment came to me in the middle of a large project that has a deadline and I'm having a really hard time motivating myself to work on it.  I'm at the point where it doesn't seem like my skein is getting visibly smaller or my project visibly larger and I've been doing the same pattern over and over and over and I'm bored with it.

I swear, when this blanket is done, I'm going back to shawls and hats and socks.  I even have the projects all lined up but I can't touch them because I know if I start on something else, this stupid blanket will never get done.  What do you all do to work through times like this?

It may be time to dig out some bad movies to watch. :)

It works gives your mind something else to focus on. I've gone through all the anime in the house twice. Makes me debate getting more or actually starting to watch regular TV.

My bad movies of choice tend to be old kung-fu movies with sub-titling, which makes it hard knit and read/watch the movie at the same time. I've got some TV on DVD that I've been meaning to get around to, so this may be the perfect opportunity.
